U-shaped direct connection
A quality management system that covers the entire chain—from raw material entry into the factory, through the production process, to finished product shipment—employs standardized, data-driven, and intelligent controls to ensure that every single product meets both industry standards and customer-specific requirements, thereby providing safe and reliable assurance for sectors such as food.
Detailed introduction
Product Overview
The U-shaped direct connector is a standardized metal fastener used for connecting longitudinal and transverse components in photovoltaic mounting systems. It features a “U-shaped wrapping plus through-bolt” design that enables quick and secure splicing of steel components. The product is made from high-strength carbon steel or aluminum alloy and its surface is treated with hot-dip galvanization or anodizing, allowing it to withstand outdoor corrosive environments over the long term. It provides a reliable structural connection solution for both ground-mounted and rooftop photovoltaic power stations.
Core Advantages
Stable torsion-resistant structure
The U-shaped wrapping structure can evenly distribute stress, enhancing torsional and shear resistance.
The dual-bolt locking design ensures long-term stability and prevents loosening.
Even distribution of stress, avoiding component damage.
Easy and quick installation
Open-type structure—no drilling required for direct assembly.
Compatible with various specifications of structural steel (such as C/Z/U-shaped steel, etc.)
The installation time for a single connector is only 1–2 minutes.
Extremely adaptable
Widely compatible with various photovoltaic bracket cross-sectional dimensions.
Can be used for various structural needs, such as fixing, extending, and reinforcing.
Modular design facilitates rapid deployment for large-scale projects.
High corrosion resistance
Hot-dip galvanized layer: 60–80 μm; corrosion resistance life up to 20–30 years.
Optional materials include aluminum-magnesium-zinc, high-corrosion-resistant rare-earth steel, and high-strength aluminum alloy.

Installation Process
Positioning: Align the U-shaped straight connector with the installation position of the structural steel.
Package fixation: U-shaped steel edge wrapping
Install the bolts: Insert the bolts into the holes and tighten them temporarily.
Correct positioning: Ensure that the connectors are aligned with the structural steel.
Final tightening: Use a torque wrench to perform final tightening, reaching the specified torque.
